KXB10 Suggested Settings
The following suggested settings will help you dial in a variety of popular tones. Keep in mind, these are starting points to
get you up and running with your KXB amplier. Feel free to experiment to achieve your own signature sounds.
TRADITIONAL/VERSATILE TONE
In this setting, the amplier will deliver a traditional, yet versatile, electric bass sound. Whether you are playing Rock,
Country, Blues or Gospel, this setting will get you close. If you play with a pick and want less treble attack on the notes,
decrease the amount of high frequencies using the Treble control. If you need a deeper bottom end, increase the amount
of low frequencies using the Bass control. Adjust the amount of Midrange to best match the tone of your bass guitar and
how it ts into the overall sound.
FUNKY, SLAPPED TONES
This style of music needs a strong attack with lots of treble content. Using less Midrange will produce the extra top end
necessary for this type of music. If you use a “slapping” thumb technique, add a bit more low end and extra volume – or
less if you really hit the strings hard. Even though this is a practice or rehearsal-level amplier, it will deliver the punch
and clarity that you require.
ALTERNATIVE STYLE
These settings are designed for upper-end punch and edge that will cut through most any sound mix. This tone will work
well with pick or ngers. Make sure your bass guitar’s volume control is up all the way. Since you’re adding volume, be
careful with the amount of Bass, Mid and Treble that you dial in, as it can also add some distortion to the sound.
